The No. 5 Virginia women’s rowing team will compete at the 2007 Aramark South/Central Regional Sprints this weekend on Melton Hill Lake in Oak Ridge, Tenn. Competition begins at 9 a.m. each day.
On Saturday, May 12, preliminary competition between the 23 participating schools begins. The top four finishers advance to the afternoon semifinals. The finals will be held on Sunday, May 13.
Virginia crews will compete in the varsity eight, second varsity eight, varsity four, open four, and novice eight events. Taking a break for final exams, the Cavaliers have not competed since winning four of five races against Princeton, Notre Dame, and George Washington on April 28.
Last season, Virginia finished second in the South Regional and seventh overall. Four UVa crews advanced to the finals in their individual races with the varsity four winning its event. Since joining the South Region in 2003 (UVa competed in the East Region previously) Virginia has won South Region three times in the last four years (2003, 2004, 2005). UVa has also won the South/Central team championship twice in the last four seasons (2004, 2005).
In the South regional rankings, Virginia is the top-ranked team. The Cavaliers’ varsity eight, second varsity eight and varsity four boats are also ranked No. 1 in the region.
